Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 274 Mountain Witch! Lin Fu on the Imperial List!

Zhu Ge looked at the rhinoceros beetle in his palm, which was glowing slightly after absorbing spiritual energy, and seemed to be deep in thought.

The ways of witchcraft and immortality seem completely unrelated, yet they resonate subtly at the moment spiritual power is injected into the Gu worms.

That resonance wasn't like a simple transfer of energy; it was more like two forces of the same origin calling to each other.

"Witchcraft, Immortal Path, Array Path—" Zhu Ge murmured to himself, "In ancient times, there was a Gu Master who used witchcraft to enter the Immortal Path and used the Immortal Path to control Gu worms."

"Although I mainly follow the paths of martial arts and Confucianism, if the paths of immortality and witchcraft can complement each other, it is not impossible to forge a path of my own."

Specialization.

Everyone is talking about specialization.

However, it overlooked the importance of applying knowledge to other situations.

Zhu Ge's core belief remains martial arts, but he does not believe that martial arts is the solution to all problems.

As she was pondering this, Zhu Ge's gaze suddenly focused on something not far away.

There was someone there whose presence he perceived was extremely strong.

Conspicuous, bright, and sinister.

A woman dressed in purple, with light black lips and glossy black hair that reached her waist.

At first glance, Zhu Ge knew that this woman was definitely a prodigy!

Just as he was about to bow, the woman suddenly rushed over.

But that kind of running wasn't driven by murderous intent; rather, it was a delightful surprise.

"Aaaaaah, is this your curse?!"

The girl was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Zhu Ge in the blink of an eye, and then looked at the hurricane rhinoceros beetle in Zhu Ge's hand with eyes full of surprise.

At that speed, no one except Zhu Ge could react in time.

Zhu Ge, skilled in singing and bold in spirit, was not afraid, but rather asked with great interest, "Do you know what a hurricane rhinoceros beetle is?"

"A hurricane rhinoceros beetle?"

The girl exclaimed in surprise, then asked in confusion, "That's not right, I can't feel the power of the hurricane."

Before Zhu Ge could explain, she suddenly opened her red lips, and a spider with six thin wings crawled out of her mouth.

The spider is entirely purplish-black, with no visible hairs, a smooth abdomen with eerie patterns, and eight slender, long legs.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ge felt a chill run down her spine.

"I just sensed someone summoning Gu." The spider's voice was lazy, like a languid woman stretching after waking up from an afternoon nap.

As soon as the spider appeared, the hurricane rhinoceros beetle immediately reacted like a cat in a stress response, its entire body surging with power.

Let alone the hurricane rhinoceros beetle, even Zhu Ge felt a chill run down his spine.

A powerful demon!

No, it should be called a great curse!

This spider is actually a powerful curse!

"Wait a minute." Zhu Ge looked at the girl solemnly: "You should be Lin Fu, ranked thirteenth on the 'Imperial Ranking,' at the Witchcraft Body-Feeding Realm."

Lin Fu!

This is a Yunjiang person, a Witchcraft cultivator at the Body-Feeding Realm, who has tamed an ancient, exotic spider mother. With this exotic species, he manipulates endless spider worms to severely injure the great demon Jade Giant Elephant and devour more than fifty third-realm demon beasts.

"Yes!" Lin Fu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I am Lin Fu, and she is Xiao Zi."

She pointed to the "Spider Mother" lying on her left cheek.

"Greetings, Miss Lin Fu, and Miss Xiao Zi." Zhu Ge bowed respectfully.

This is the thirteenth genius on the "Imperial Ranking".

According to records, she was a practitioner of both mountain witchcraft and sorcery, and her manipulation of plants and sorcery was superb.

The so-called "Body-Nourishing Realm" is the third realm of witchcraft, where one nourishes witchcraft with one's own body.

Whether it's a fire shaman, a water shaman, a sorcerer, a wood shaman, or a mountain shaman, they all need to be highly integrated with the being they communicate with.

In a sense, when one has nurtured the body to a certain point, the true meaning is manifested.

Just like this Spider Mother Little Purple, it can be considered a manifestation of Lin Fu's true meaning.

"Aren't you from Yunjiang?" Lin Fu tilted her head and, without any hesitation, pressed down Zhu Ge's cupped-hand salute. "Our ancestors were all children of the mountains; they don't stand on ceremony."

Zhu Ge felt a sense of pride and exhilaration.

The woman before them seemed not to be a person, but rather a majestic and imposing mountain range.

"Indeed." Zhu Ge smiled. "So, Miss Lin Fu, what brings you here to see me?"

"Guide? No need for guidance. You seem quite strong, there's no need for me to guide you—" Lin Fu spoke frankly, then looked at the Annihilation True Monarch in the carriage: "That person is very strong, you should let him guide you."

A very strong intuition.

She has a very straightforward personality.

Zhu Ge couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and went straight to the point: "Lin Fu, did you come to see me for something?"

"It's nothing," Lin Fu replied directly again, her eyes fixed on the hurricane beetle in the singer's song.

Zhu Ge was somewhat helpless. Before she could ask any more questions, the Spider Mother, who was lying on Lin Fu's face, spoke up: "Silly sister, I told you that we'll be talking nonsense outside the village."

Lin Fu tilted her head: "What did you say?" But it was clear that most of her attention was still on the hurricane beetle.

The hurricane rhinoceros beetle was completely terrified, feeling like a fat pig's head being stared at by a prehistoric beast, trembling with fear.

The Spider Mother said softly, "Didn't you want a fight? Didn't you come to see Zhu Ge to see that new Confucianism?"

"Confucianism and Taoism?"

Upon hearing this word, Lin Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, her attention drawn back: "Yes! Confucianism and Taoism are very strong!"

She looked at Zhu Ge: "You founded Neo-Confucianism, you must be very capable, right? I remember the 'Way of Righteousness' within Neo-Confucianism is very strong!"

The Way of Righteousness?

Zhu Ge knew in his heart that this was indeed the most powerful and fierce path.

However, he shook his head: "My Confucianism and Taoism may have great combat power in the future, but it is not strong now."

Now, all he can do is tell fortunes.

If he wants to make significant progress, perhaps he should wait until he gains divine consciousness, opens up the Shangyuan Palace, and then carefully consider how to unleash the combat power of Yi Dao.

"Oh? Is that so?————" Lin Fu's attention was drawn back to the hurricane rhinoceros beetle.

This time, she even slowly extended her hand.

"However, I'm also quite good at martial arts. Shall we give it a try?" Zhu Ge's eyes were blazing with fighting spirit.

Mountain Witch!

This is a branch of witchcraft with extremely exaggerated combat power, and it also follows the path of body refinement.

As someone who loves fighting, how could Zhu Ge remain indifferent to this mountain witch prodigy in front of him?

Even though Lin Fu is ranked thirteenth on the list of prodigies, Zhu Ge guesses that most of her strength may lie in this Spider Mother, who is at the Great Realm.

If it were a contest of physical strength, he might not be inferior to her.

"Martial arts?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fu's attention turned sharply back to her.

A pair of bright, piercing eyes stared directly at Zhu Ge.

In an instant, Zhu Ge felt as if he were being stared at by a mountain.

It's a very subtle feeling, perhaps it should be called megalophobia?

Although the girl in front of me looks only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Combat? Martial arts?" Lin Fu slowly stood up, her feet directly on the muddy ground, her healthy wheat-colored skin showing a contradictory luster of suppleness and roughness under the sunlight.

As she stood up, her fighting spirit rose with her.

Zhu Ge smiled, his fighting spirit surging forth: "Yes, let's fight!"
